In the girl's petite body, a robust love was brewing, which Gong Lingtuo could clearly feel.
She loved him deeply.
Because of love, she was very afraid—afraid of losing it, afraid that this love would fade with time.
He vaguely guessed why she wanted to become a doctor and understood why she was so conflicted.
She wanted to become a skilled doctor, to work alongside him in the future, to protect him, and at the same time, she wished not to part from him from now on.
That's why she was so torn.
He recalled a line of poetry: "If two hearts are long in conjoined love, does absence truly matter?"
Even though they could not be together every day now, their hearts belonged to each other, and the thread of love connected them, thus they were still happy.
In this world, it is lovelessness that is truly unhappy.
They had love, and they were loved, capable of enduring temporary separation.
